This exploring party was surrounded by hos
tile Indians and cut to pieces, only Gen. Lam
der himself escaping. He made five expedi-
tions altogether across the continent, all Of
them attended with danger and full of the
element of the romantic. He was perhaps
the only American who ever brought back an
unexpended fund from congressional ap-
preparation. Wherever dash and bra
very, as well as correct Judgment, were
required, Lander was to be de-
pended on. In 1860 he married
the gifted actress, Jean Davenport In 1861
he offered his services to Gen. Scott, for the
war, Gin any capacity, at any time and for
any duty" His offer was accepted, and from
that time OH till his career closed, all too
early, he was to be found where fighting was.
He was wounded in the leg at Edwards
Ferry, but before the wound healed he was
off at Romney, Va, commanding the forces
there. Once he marched 4,0CS men forty
three miles through deep snow, and without
rest and with almost no food, charged them
upon Confederate camp at Bloomery Gap,
routing it completely. So impetuous was be
that with single aid he galloped ahead of
his men and demanded and received the Con-
federate commanders sword.
So little is known however, of this brilliant
and romantic figure that his name is seldom
mentioned in the war "reminiscences which are
now at flood tide in the country. It is because
Gen. Lander died so early in the war. Soon
after the beginning of 1862 his health
failed and he was at length stricken with
a typhoid fever He applied for leave of alb
sence from military duty, but before the per-
init came, while he was yet waiting, word
came that Jacksons men were in the neigh
borhood. He rose from his bed, called his
aids about him and, with the old time fire in
his eye, purposed to make midnight attack
At that moment his hour struck. He was
seized with a sudden congestion of the brain
and died in a few minutes.
He was man of fine physique and extra
ordinary personal magnetism If he had
lived ne would have been among the larger
figures Of the war.
Lander dying, Gen. James B. Shields was
placed in command of his division.

tho close Of tho campaign even, when he
wrote asking to join the Richmond army, Leo
wrote back word for him to como In con-
fldcntial letter directed; "Gen. T. J. Jack
son, Somewhere"
In November, 1901, Stoncwall Jackson had
occupied Winchester. 1t was point danger
ously near the Potomac, and Jackson sought
to get yet nearer. He made an attack ON tho
littlo town of Oath, very near tho Potomac.
His intention was to cross the river. But he
was prevented from doing this by Gen. r. w.
Lander, who commanded the Federal forces
In northern Virginia. But he took possession
of Romney and divided the Federal forces In
northern Virginia Then he made Winches-
ter his headquarters during the winter, re-
cruiting large numbers Of men. In March,
1862, Gen. Joseph Il. Johnston evacuated Gen.
treville and went nearer Richmond At the
same time the Federal Gen. Banks advanced
toward Winchester. These two circumstances
induced Jackson to retreat to Woodstock,
forty miles south of Winchester.

CROSS KEY AND PORT REPUBLIC.

June 8, Jackson's rear, commanded by
Ewell, was at Cross Keys, writtcn also x
Keys
In this famous race the Confederate army
had now nearly reached the upper end OF the
Shenandoah, and had not yet been captured.
Either side of them was an army quite equal
in size to them ready to pounce upon them.
About six miles southeast Of Cross Keys was
Port Republic, ON the south fork. Here there
yet remained bridge. All depended on
whether Shields on the east side or jackson on
the west side Of the south fork reached Port
Republic and that bridge first. On the 9Th
Jackson himself, with his advance, was four
miles south of Ewell and nearer Port Re-
public.
June s Fremont attacked Ewell, and the
battle Of Cross Keys took place. 1t was
fought by Jackson's rear and Fremont's adj
vance. Ewell had 1000 men in action, Free
mont about 5000. This was the sixth battle
in the campaign of the Shenandoah valley.
The battle began at II in the forenoon and
lasted till dark
The battle of Cross Keys itself was not q
decisive one, but it resulted in a decided adj
vantage to the Confederates It kept Free
mont back, and thus prevented him from
attacking Jackson's whole force in the rear
while Shields fell upon him on the left and
east

Republic when the battle of Cross Keys was

Percy Wyndham, of the Union cavalry, made
a reconnaissance toward Harrisonburg He
fell into Confederate ambush and was taken
prisoner with his men. Following this was
an infantry fight. Col. Wyndham was al
Englshman. He had been a captain in the
Austrian army and had served under Carl
baldi. He was aiming especially to 'bag
Turner Ashby.
Col. Wyndham's cavalry was followed by a
large tody of infantry. On tho Confederate
side Gen. Ewell came up with infantry. This
battle of Harrisonburg, the It'll of June, was
tho fifth considerable fight of the campaign.
The Federal regiments were partly behind
fence. The COnfedcrates advanced against
them through tangled underwood. Ashby
led the charge, with the Fifty-eighth Virginia
1t made lit e impression, but received a ire
mendous fire from the Federal regiments
The impatient nature of Ashby was on fire.
He ordered the Fifty-eighth Virginia to stop
firing and charge bayonet on the Federals
He spurred his horse forward, waved his arm
and shouted: "Virgnians, follow mel" A
ball struck his horse and the animal fell dead.
He sprang to his feet and rushed on, still Or
dering his men to charge bayonet. At that
moment bullet pierced him and he fell dead.
His men carried his body in their arms off
the battle field.
Gen. Ewell lad ordered up more regiments
and there was fierce fighting. Several Con-
federate officers were shot dead, and the
colors of the First Confederate Maryland
were shot down three times. Still the Union
troops were checked, just at the moment
when Ashby dropped dead.
The character of Brig. Gen. Turner Ash5y
is to Virginians that of the ideal knight of
romance. He was a native of Fauquier
county, Virginia, and was little past 80 at
the time of his death. There was nothing of
the guerrilla or freebooter about him. as has
sometimes been represented. He was simple
in his tastes and habits, and devoutly relig-
ious in character He Stunned pcrsistent,y

caring most for horses and the chase. He
was famous rider and horse tanner, the best

MARCH AND COUNTERMARcH.

The sudden attack Of jackson at Kerns
town caused a change in the plans at Wash
ington. Banks and his corps were halted OF
the way to Manassas, and sent in pursuit o.
the flying Confederates. At the same time
Shields division of Banks corps, which haG
routed Jackson at Winchester, was detached
from Banks and sent to Mcdowell. Nc
Dowell was to halfway cooperate with Nc
Clellan at Richmond, and wholly keep an
eye on Washington. Just what no was to dc
seems never to have been fully Ssesided- OF,
between Gen. Mcclellan on one hand and the
president and Secretary Stanton OH the
other.
To get the movements that followed the
battle of Winchester clearly in mind it will
be necessary to note upon the map the posi-
ton of both the Confederate and Union
troops in northern Virginia at the beginning
of May. Gen. Richard s. Ewell's corps of
10000 Confederate troops had been sent to
Jackson from Richmond That general,
after crossing the south fork of the Shenan-
doah, continued his retreat and encamped
at length near Swift Run gap. It had
been an exciting, romantic retreat. Col
Turner Ashby. the cavalryman, was Jack
sons rear guard. He lowered about the
Federal advance, now making a dash ut
them and engaging in hot skirmish. now
galloping away with ringing of sabers when
they came too near. 1t was work he delighted
in. He rode at this time magnificent white
horse, as famous in Confederate annals as tie
Union Sheridan's black horse became in this
very region two years later. Ashby, left
alone, was the last man to cross the
Shenandoah bridge. Eight Federal cav
alrymen were almost upon him as be
rode for life over the bridge. Two gallope,l
on in advance. Ashby turned suddenly on
them. A bullet from his party already across
the bridge struck one of the Union trooper,
down. Ashby cleft the other with his sabcr.
and he. too, fell Then Ashby galloped in
hot haste over the bridge
Meantime balls rained like hail around Thu,
bold rider, One of them pierced bis milk
white horse and gave the beautiful animal
mortal wound. He carried his rider safe
across the bridge, however, a torrent o,
blood flowing from his side as he ran. Ash
bys famous ride on the white horse was
continued two miles.
jackson, with Ewell's corps, was at Swift
Run gap. On the Federal side plans were
made to hem him in on three sides and crush
him.

Gen. Bee rallied his men, but the next mo-
ment was shot dead at their head. And from
that day Oh Thomas Jonathan jackson was
called "Stonewal" But students at the Vir.
ginia Military institute, where he was profess
sor of physics nicknamed him the "Blue
Light Elder" because he was so strict Pres
byterian. There was in him more resem-
blance to the old Scotch covenanter than in
any other soldier Of this century.
jackson was born at Clarksburg, Va, in
1924. Slow, awkward, friendless and bash
full, he yet struggled up through youth of
toll and poverty till he obtained the appoint
ment as West Point cadet In time he was
graduated there. He served in the Mexican
war as lieutenant, and won honors for his
bravery and GOODNESS. Failing health led him
10 accept the professorship in the Virginia
military institute. At the outbreak of the
civil war he marched to Richmond at the
head of corps of cadets he had already been
drilling in anticipation Of fighting.
Stonewall Jackson was MORALLY wounded
by a terrible volley fired by his own men
through mistake at Charlottesville, May 2,
1868
After Manassas, in the autumn of 1861, the
command of the Confederate army of the
Shenandoah was given to Gen. jackson.
Bodies of Federal soldiers belonging to Gen.
Banks corps were in the Shenandoah and
about the head waters of the Potomac, where,
in the language of Confederate writer, they
"harassed the inhabitants, and treated as pub
lie enemies all who refused to subscribe to the
Federal oath of allegiance" jackson had
been darting about through the Shenandoah
region here and there during the winter. His
own superior officers seldom knew where to
find him, SO rapid were his movements. At

May 90, before leaving the Potomac, his
rear guard mado pretended attack on Har-
per's Ferry and Charlestown, while his sup
ply and ammunition trains wero being sent
south in the advance Jackson's favorite SOL
diels were those of his old command, called
tho Stoncwall brigade. They led the attack
on Charlestown.
Many of Jackson's soldiers were from the
vicinity OF Charlestown and had not seen
their families for year. But not moment
were they allowed to delay. After making
tho show of battle at Harper's Ferry and
Charlestown they were hurried southwark.
May 80 Jackson's whole army was at Win
chester, heading southwark for Strasburg
with might and main.
Both Fremont and Shields-one on one side,
tho other on the other-were trying to get
there too, and to get there before Jackson
did. Their forces united, jackson was crushed.
The daring Confederate was thus "between
the devil and the deep sea-" 1t was one of
the most exciting races of the civil war.
Strasburg was the key to the situation. For
Jackson it was Strasburg and liberty; or,
losing 1t, humiliation. Both Shields and
Fremont had expressed their determination
to "bag Jackson"
May 81, after a forced march across the
mountains, Fremont had gained the road be-
tween Winchester and Strasburg Jackson
had passed that point only few hours be-
fore. Fast followed Fremont He caught
Jackson's rear. There was sharp skirmish,
June 1. Fremont's advance was beaten back.
Victory! jackson was at Strasburg. Be-
tween afternoon May 80 and daylight June
his men had marched from Harper's Ferry
to Strasburg, fifty miles.
It was Gen. Ewcll-Richard Stoddard Ewell
who drove back Fremont's advance at
Strasburg and enabled jackson to reach that
city in safety. Ewell was born in the Dis
